- MacMini 14.3, 8.1 & 4.1, OS 13.5, 10.14, & 10.11 & 10.6; Macbook Pro 8.2, OS 10.12.
Macbook Pro, OS 10.13.6 and TextEdit
A much-used flash drive died without warning. RIP. On it were all sorts, but of relevance to this inquiry were 3 or 4 TextEdit files that were duplicates of files on the MBk's desktop. The files on the flash drive were however more up-to-date, thus I have lost some important information.
My question: is there a method to have MacOS save to duplicate files at the same time as an active/open file is updated/saved? Something like a command line that states "save to all files of this xxxxx name".
